Cost of Living Crisis

The cost of living is at the front of everyone’s mind, and our clients are no different. 

For clients with a history of trauma this is a time of huge mental strain and anxiety. Many clients now in accommodation have experience of losing their homes in the past, and with the ever rising costs many are anxious that this might happen again.

Here at SPEAR we are doing all we can to provide support. Find out more.

 

“THE COST OF LIVING IS A HUGE MENTAL TRIGGER AND HUGE MENTAL STRAIN. NOT JUST FOR A
FEW CLIENTS, THIS IS ACROSS THE BOARD.”

 

“ASKING FOR HELP WAS DIFFICULT, BUT BEING HOMELESS WAS SUCH A SHOCK THAT I HAD NO
CHOICE. WITHOUT SPEAR, I CANNOT IMAGINE WHERE I WOULD BE NOW”

With the cost of living crisis disproportionately affecting the poorest in our communities, at SPEAR we are incredibly grateful for the donations we receive. At a time we know is becoming increasingly difficult for us all, any amount that you can afford to give is very much appreciated and will make a real difference to the lives of those we support.
